An external standalone ethernet based ADSL router can be bought for
=A330 or so and you will have no interoperability problems with FreeBSD
or any other operating system that supports ethernet.

Even for a single machine setup the ethernet option is usually
superior to USB or an internal card, having no driver problems and a
few additional security benefits.
